I think that those of us at UCLA involved in the Locus project would be
very interested in hearing about other research in distributed operating
systems, and would like to discuss important issues we've come up against.
I agree with Gene that net.research is a good place to start.  If I get
around to it, I'll try to post a brief description of what we've done and
what we're planning on doing to net.research soon.
